Classic PRS with the Snap of a Bolt-On Neck
The PRS SE CE 24 takes the familiar Custom 24 formula and gives it a different feel and response. A bolt-on maple Wide Thin neck adds snap and immediacy, paired with the classic PRS combination of a maple top, mahogany back and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Dual 85/15 "S" humbuckers deliver clear, powerful tones, while the push/pull coil tap adds brighter single-coil sounds when you want to open things up.

Our Take
If you're comparing the SE CE 24 with the SE Custom 24, the bolt-on neck is the reason to choose the CE. It gives the guitar a slightly more immediate, lively response, with plenty of attack and definition. Pair that with the Wide Thin neck and 24-fret layout, and you've got a PRS that feels fast, responsive and particularly well suited to players who like a more direct connection between their hands and the guitar.
The 85/15 “S” pickups give you plenty of clarity and power for rock and driven tones, while the coil tap adds brighter sounds for cleans and rhythm work.
Slate Blue gives the SE CE 24 a cool, contemporary edge, allowing the flame maple figuring to show through beneath the muted blue finish. It feels modern without being flashy, with the natural movement in the top adding depth as the guitar catches the light.
For us, the SE CE 24 is a great choice if you want classic PRS looks and versatility with the extra snap and feel of a bolt-on maple neck.
